Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its bit slow in between 2 and 3 gear else while its nice and I reached 110 in east coast road in chennai and I really got 17.5 in long highway with full ac on and in city ride mileage is around 12.5 kmpl.

Final Words It is the best in 2000 segment power smart gear shift is nice.

Areas of improvement Automatic can be there.

Exterior are Ok, some may like it some may not, but that should not not be a concern for an avid driver.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) spacious and very comfortable. My 62 year old mother with slip disc problem did not complain a bit during my drive from Delhi to Varanasi (about 850 kms.). We were three adults and one child in the car. Music system with 6 CD changer is good but should have an USB and bluetooth connect which are not costly additions. steering could be more stylish and light.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox EXCELLENT performance, very responsive, quick and powerfull enough to keep you ahead of most of the expensive SUVs on the highways. engine notches up to 130 kmph in  a ziffy.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Good, Good suspension adds to the comfort of spacious cabin and luxurious leather seats. Very good grip on thr road even in the rain. Smooth handling in the city and on the Highway.

Final Words It is not fashionable but value for money. I drove about 2000 Kms on Highway (NH2) from Delhi-Varanasi-Delhi and return journey I were alone. As a test, on an open and deserted stretch, I touched up the speed of 180 KMPH but did nt accelerate further because the engine was already raving above 4000 rpm. But It could certainly go beyond 180 kmph. However, the most important thing was that I were feeling safe and in control. This car manages upto 130-140 kmph effortlessly. For the comfort and ride quality this car is more than value for money.  Anyone having experience would not dispute the responsiveness of engine, smooth acceleration and excellent road grip of this car. The mileage is an area of concern and one has to clearly choose between the ride quality, comfort and power at the one hand and the mileage on the other. But at this price the car provides the power and comfort of much expensive cars. Drive it and you will forget the verna, linea, innova, Safari and even fortuner.

Areas of improvement  Interiors especially dash board and steering may be made more stylish. After 120 KMPH some tyre and wind noises start disturbing the calm atmosphere in the cabin. On high rpms, the AC becomes less effective. Addition of 16 inch alloy wheels would give it more ground clearence and acceptability on the rough roads.
